I just bought a 3167 Weitek math co-processor for my '386 clone.
I stuck the thing on the board, but it doesn't seem to be doing
anything (the board cmos setup can't find it).  No jumpers are
listed for it on the board (just a '387 enable, which works fine
with the '387 that was replaced, but locks up the machine with the 3167).

Is there something I should be doing to activate it?  Right 
now, it seems to be just along for the ride.  Has anyone else
had trouble getting it to work?
